It is hard to imagine anything they could have cooked up on their own that would have enabled Republicans to feast on for so long as Obamacare. It gave them talking points, 47 opportunities to vote to repeal the law and now a narrative for the 2014 elections.

And just as the GOP was beginning to discuss immigration reform, it was erased from the menu in favor of a pig-out on the flaws of the Affordable Care Act. But putting too many eggs in the Obamacare basket could leave Republicans with insufficient nourishment for the fall campaign.
